FAQ

What are the most common AI benefits for SMBs?

Common benefits include faster customer response times, reduced manual data entry, consistent intake and triage, and better visibility into operations through structured data.

Which SMB workflows are best suited for AI?

High-volume, repeatable workflows such as intake, appointment scheduling, document processing, and customer support triage are strong candidates for AI automation.

When should a small business avoid AI?

Avoid AI where decisions carry legal or safety risk without human review, when data quality is too low, or when the workflow is rare and highly variable.

How long does it take to see value from AI automation?

Most SMBs see operational improvements within the first 4 to 8 weeks after deployment, depending on integration scope and data readiness.

Can SMBs start small and expand later?

Yes. Many SMBs start with one workflow, prove the impact, and then expand to additional agents and automations.
